Glenn DeRoche is a Brooklyn-born architect and designer of Caribbean descent, currently based between Accra and New York City. Early experiences moving between the U.S., the Caribbean, and now West Africa have shaped his understanding of the built environment, where climate, culture, and resources inform how and why we build. His work spans continents and contexts, engaging local materials and global conversations. In 2022, Glenn founded his studio with the mission of establishing a new kind of contemporary practice, one that bridges traditional material systems and contemporary building methods; grounded in context, artisanry, and collaboration.

Glenn graduated Cum Laude from the Bernard Anne Spitzer School of Architecture at The City College of New York with his Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture and later went on to graduate with Distinction from the Bartlett School of Architecture in London for his Master’s.
